## What is BMW Motorrad Connected?

Get the best out of your rides by transforming your smartphone into a motorcycle tool using the BMW Motorrad Connected app.

Use our app to plan your dream routes or import routes as a GPX file.

Thanks to the networking with your motorcycle, you can record all the relevant information about your ride if you want.

If your BMW motorcycle is equipped with a TFT display and Connectivity, simply connect to your motorcycle with Bluetooth to do this.

If your BMW motorcycle does not have a TFT display but does have a Multi-Controller and navigation preparation, then get the ConnectedRide Cradle and turn your smartphone into a motorcycle display.

No matter whether you choose the option of “fast” (direct route) or “curvy” (route with a lot of turns), you can always keep your route reliably in view thanks to voice announcements to your communication system and navigation instructions that are easy to see in the display. By using the intuitive Multi-Controller, you can control everything safely without having to take your hands off the handlebars.

Want to keep your friends up to date? Then easily share your riding data and photos on social media.

We are continuously refining our app for you. Stay tuned to discover the latest functions.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2026-08-02, version 5.10.0*

This is the worst app I’ve ever tried to use.
It won’t recognize my device commonly while the phone and navigator are saying connected.
It also won’t let me reset my password.
Horrible

### 1/5 — Couldn’t be any worse!

*2026-07-02, version 5.10.0*

Every time you turn off the bike it’s another 10 minute ordeal to re-pair. 

At least half the time it just says, Connection Not Possible without any explanation.

On those few occasions when it does get connected, it often drops for no reason.

BMW should be embarrassed for putting out a piece of garbage like this app!  Apple and Google have set the standard with CarPlay and Android Auto and this thing is not in the same league!!

I gave up on this app and switched to. Garmin Zumo which works flawlessly!

Dear BMW, I will take this into account the next time I am shopping for a new bike!

### 1/5 — Can’t Login

*2026-07-01, version 5.10.0*

App never sends verification email to confirm account. Sucks, non-starter

### 1/5 — Unable login

*2026-06-27, version 5.10.0*

Multiple attempts and pw resets….cant get past verification….every time I match the object, it sends me back to sign-in screen.  Dealer says same and can’t help me.

### 1/5 — Hardware rocks

*2026-05-26, version 5.8.1*

Stick to building bikes.  Software is buggy, unintuitive and slow.

### 4/5 — Quirky UI, but good integration with BMW click wheel

*2026-05-25, version 5.8.1*

UI takes some getting used to. But I like the integration with the bmw clock wheel. Makes it easy to use while riding. Mapping is not the best. It would be nice if they just paid for Google’s tech there.

### 2/5 — Horrible Login

*2026-05-17, version 5.8.0*

Not sure what mental midget decided to put a “move things around” captcha login on a phone app, but they need to not just be fired, but taken out back and shot, resurrected, and then shot again!!!!

### 3/5 — No CarPlay/Android auto? In 2026???

*2026-05-12, version 5.8.0*

The app is pretty good but lacks a lot of the poi found on Google Maps or Apple Maps. It’s not always easy to go somewhere when you only know the name of the place. And no Apple CarPlay or Android auto? In 2026? You gotta do better…

### 2/5 — Good app - but “Ghost” bike bug needs fixing

*2026-05-12, version 5.8.0*

Good app for BMW owners with compatible bikes. Adds some great functionality and integration with the motorcycle - when the app works. However, it keeps having an issue with creating a “ghost” bike in the app which causes it to not track your rides and bike info.  BMW needs to fix this - it’s widely reported and a known bug - and unfortunately makes an otherwise good app frustrating to use.

### 1/5 — Updated the app

*2026-05-05, version 5.7.0*

I updated the app today but can’t get in.  I reset the password and it goes from the login page to the Chapta page and back to login.  I killed it
